Summary
Actress Tamara Podemski will host the 13th Annual Outside Looking In Gala on May 6 at Toronto’s Meridian Hall. Outside Looking In is an organization that works with Indigenous youth through the art of dance. Organizers also announced that DJ Shub (Dan General), former member of A Tribe Called Red, returns to their gala stage.
“Tamara and DJ Shub are true inspirations for the students taking part in our year-long program,” said Tracee Smith, CEO of Outside Looking In. “We’re honoured that they’ll bring their passion and their leadership to celebrate the culmination of another amazing season for OLI.”
Podemski is an Anishinaabe/Ashkenazi multi-disciplinary artist whose career spans more than 25 years. Nominated for a 2020 Canadian Screen Award in writing for APTN’s Future History, she currently stars in CBC’s primetime drama Coroner and the APTN/TVO dramatic series Unsettled.
“When Tracee reached out to me, I immediately said yes,” said Podemski. “What she and her team have accomplished is nothing short of spectacular, and I am thrilled to be a part of this year’s gala performance. The world needs more OLI and I’m happy to help spread the word.”
There are two performances on May 6; a matinee for student groups at 10:30 a.m.; tickets are $5 each (plus fees) and an evening performance at 7:30 p.m.; tickets are $30 each (plus fees).
